Listen "Episode 17: The politics of faith"
Episode Synopsis
As we’ve seen, Paul instructed the Philippians to “live your life in a manner worthy of the gospel” (1:27). But the word translated is “live your life” is one he only uses once in all his letters. It’s the root from which we get the English word “politics.” By saying it that way, Paul is addressing the tension between being citizens of Rome and citizens of God’s kingdom.
